Sydney Carter wrote a song that warns against us trying to capture God within our limited notions:
Lock Him in religion
Gold and frankincense and myrrh
Carry to His prison
But He will be gone
All the things that man has made
Cannot hold Him anymore
Still the bird is flying as before

Thursday
To attempt to talk about God’s presence is very different from any attempt to express something
about our own presence.. there is an old joke which touches on the problem: “What’s the difference
between God and Revd X?” – “God is everywhere, Revd X is everywhere except in his parish”.
The issue is that, given that God is not an object and is therefore beyond concepts, great care is
needed.
Catch the Bird of Heaven
Lock Him in a cage of gold
Look again tomorrow
And He will be gone

As before
The Christian doctrine of the Incarnation is an attempt to express something about God, who is
unknowable in his essence, being in some sense revealed to us in material things. Holy Communion
is understood by Christian as being one of those ways. There are of course others, one of the most
significant being in other people, particularly in the poor and the oppressed, in those on the margins
of our society.
In 1923 at a Conference of the Anglo-Catholic movement , the Bishop of Zanzibar, Frank Weston
delivered a stirring final address. While some of the imagery may not have stood the test of time its
basic message about presence remains as relevant today as it was then.
“ the one great thing that England needs to learn is that Christ is found in and amid matter—Spirit
through matter—God in flesh, God in the Sacrament. But I say to you, and I say it to you with all the
earnestness that I have, that if you are prepared to fight for the right of adoring Jesus in his Blessed
Sacrament, then you have got to come out from before your Tabernacle and walk, with Christ
mystically present in you, out into the streets of this country, and find the same Jesus in the people
of your cities and your villages. You cannot claim to worship Jesus in the Tabernacle, if you do not
pity Jesus in the slum…..You have got your Mass, you have got your Altar, you have begun to get
your Tabernacle. Now go out into the highways and hedges where not even the Bishops will try to
hinder you. Go out and look for Jesus in the ragged, in the naked, in the oppressed and sweated, in
those who have lost hope, in those who are struggling to make good. Look for Jesus. And when you
see him, gird yourselves with his towel and try to wash their feet.”
Stephen Bishop, Rector

MEDBOURNE PARISH COUNCIL
RECTORY FARM IN TIMES PAST
Visit to Rectory Farm, Great Easton, on Saturday 21st June
The meeting held on Monday 12th May 2014 was the Annual Statutory Meeting, at which
Cllr Paul Polito was confirmed as Chair of Medbourne Parish Council and Cllr Louise
Pilkington confirmed as Vice Chair, continuing their roles for the
coming year. Cllr Cory is now the Planning Representative and Cllr Gidley Wright taking
on the responsibility of Village Hall Representative.
The following items of interest to the village were discussed:
Neighbourhood Plans: Medbourne Parish Council discussed the potential of a Neighbourhood Plan for the village. At this stage it was agreed that much more information was needed on the process and what the benefits would be.
Councillors are to look in to this and pass on their thoughts to Cllr Cory who is the new
Planning Representative. Any member of the public who has any views or thoughts on this
are encouraged to email the Parish Clerk, Dan Ray with their views
(pcmedbourne@gmail.com) and these shall be passed on to Cllr Cory.
Accounts: The annual accounts for 2013/14 were approved by councillors. The Notice of
Appointment of Date for the Exercise of Electors’ Rights is now
displayed on the Parish Council notice board, advertising the annual audit of the Parish
Council accounts.
Broadband Update: It has been confirmed that Medbourne is going to receive high speed
broadband, with the rollout expected before the next Parish Council Meeting in June. It
was noted that whilst this would be beneficial to many in Medbourne, with the exchange in
the village centre, it is likely that the further away from the exchange, the slower the broadband speeds. Villages such as
Ashley are likely to receive lower speeds, which relies on Medbourne’s exchange, due to
the distance from the exchange.
DATE & TIME OF NEXT MEETING: The next meeting will be held on
Monday 2nd June in the Village Hall at 7.45pm.
